Textbook Solutions for Elementary Statistics: Picturing the World

Chapter 2.2 Problem 5E

Question

Putting Graphs in Context In Exercises 5– 8, match the plot with the description of the sample.

(a) Times (in minutes) it takes a sample of employees to drive to work

(b) Grade point averages of a sample of students with finance majors

(c)  Top speeds (in miles per hour) of a sample of high-performance sports cars

(d) Ages (in years) of a sample of residents of a retirement home

Solution

Problem 5E

Putting Graphs in Context In Exercise, match the plot with the description of the sample.

(a) Times (in minutes) it takes a sample of employees to drive to work

(b) Grade point averages of a sample of students with finance majors

(c) Top speeds (in miles per hour) of a sample of high-performance sports cars

(d) Ages (in years) of a sample of residents of a retirement home

                                                           Step by Step Solution

Step 1 of 2

The graph is a stem-and-leaf plot. From the key we can understand that the decimal value can only match with the description of the sample of grade points average of students with finance majors.
